SPINACH CON QUESO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil and butter together in a 3-quart saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir onion until translucent, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir red bell pepper and jalapeno pepper into onion mixture; cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low and mix pepperjack cheese and spinach into onion mixture; cook, stirring constantly, until cheese is melted and mixture is thick, 5 to 10 minutes. Slowly pour enough evaporated milk into cheese mixture, stirring constantly, until desired consistency is reached; season with salt. Continue to cook and stir over low heat until warmed through, at least 5 minutes more.

ESPINACAS CON GARBANZOS (SPINACH AND CHICKPEAS)

Steps:

• Coat a large saucepan with extra virgin olive oil (approx. 2 tbsp) and heat to medium high
• Before the oil gets too hot, add the spinach (in batches if necessary)
• Sauté the spinach until just wilted and remove to strain in a colander
• Re-coat the pan with olive oil and add in the bread cubes and raw almonds. Fry until the bread and almonds are browned and crispy on each side
• Add the chopped garlic, cumin, cayenne and black pepper and sauté for a couple of minutes, until the garlic is fragrant and turning brown
• Transfer the ingredients to a blender/food processor and add the sherry vinegar
• Blend the ingredients together until you have a thick paste (you can add a few tablespoons of water if needed to blend easier, but don't over blend and make it gooey)
• Return the paste to the saucepan and add your garbanzo beans and tomato sauce
• Stir gently until the chickpeas are fully coated by the sauce and add a bit of water to thin things out
• Add the spinach and stir gently until it is evenly incorporated and hot
• Season with salt and pepper
• Once plated, drizzle a swirl of extra virgin olive oil on top of each dish, then sprinkle a small amount of smoked Spanish paprika on top
• Enjoy!

CREAMED SPINACH SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Plunge the spinach into the boiling water, and cook for no more than a minute; transfer to an ice bath with a slotted spoon. Drain well, and squeeze with your hands to remove as much water as possible.
• Put the cream and spinach in a blender or food processor, and purée. Transfer the mixture to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter, and sprinkle with salt, pepper and nutmeg if you're using it. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture gently bubbles and thickens; add more cream for a thinner sauce. Taste, and adjust the seasoning and serve hot.
